RT @NHLFlyera: Flyers entered the weekend with two picks (11 & 72) in the top 90. They now have five (11, 24, 51, 72, & 84) Good stuff, Hexy.

Not when I can remember when Philly papers had quality people covering the Flyers.

Hexy has one more deal in him today. As long as he doesn't trade his own first rounder.

The Daily News was always better than the Inky, for the Flyers

Think it's 50/50 that Hextall gets one more done

Yeah.. I am shocked that we got so much back for Coburn, but it seems everyone is overpaying for dmen. Now we've got two 1sts in this deep draft.. If Hexy can work on clearing more cap space, we'll be in a good spot. Gudas is younger than I thought. Anyone know his salary and how many more years on the deal?

Tampa paper said it was one more year on the deal at a hit of $1.4

One more year, .992 cap hit, 1.4 actual salary. From NHLNumbers.com

Stay cheesey, Tim.

RT @tpanotchCSN: Coburn traded overnight to TB for 2 picks and d-man Radko Gouda - 1st and 3rd pick

Yep.. Need to clear some of that dead cap space as well.

Thanks. See how he fares next year, but the games I have seen of him, he's a big hitter who's pretty decent in his own end? This has to mean that Grossmann is gonzo.

If Vinny, or Hamburglar , are gone by end of day..... Hextall=God


If Grossmann or Luke are moved... I would still be happy

Well, if the intention is to keep Gudas, then we should def move 1 if not both.

Even though Gudas is out, I am hoping that today is Luke Schenn's last day on this roster with his game the way it is

Either trade him or send him down and try to fix him, but I hope that today is a day where Hextall acknowledges that you have other options than just running him out there with no improvement or scratching him

I am sure they are keeping Gudas. Isn't he injured though? I think he has been out for awhile.
I just want Grossmann and Luke's coin off the books. It will give Hexy so much room to wheel and deal in the off season

My personal thoughts would be that we'd trade Grossmann as he has some value still.. what are you going to get for luke?

Yeah, I read that he was injured.. even so, I'd trade both Grossmann and Luke for the right price and then just call up manning and ride out the year..

I am still shocked at that haul for Coburn.. Gudas is a solid guy in his own right.. then you add the 1st and 3rd in a deep draft all for a guy who's been hurt a lot this year and has played poorly? He must not have been watching.

At the very least, Gudas is signed for low cash next year. I think he is another third pair guy, but he's making under $1mm. He's not a third pair guy eating up $3.5mm or more of their cap room.

Yep. Want to see some cap room cleared for next season, so Hextall has money to fill holes.

With his game the way it is, I honestly don't know. Defensemen prices are clearly inflated

Schenn...man, he just needs to get his game fixed, if that's possible, and you can't do that at the NHL level with where it is right now

He has regressed so much, you just have to try to salvage his career. I truly would try to send him down

I liked Gudas what little I saw of him. He played like a mean SOB, and that's what we need on this blueline . Just not sure when or if he comes back this year

I suspect that's what's going on. So essentially he's a luke Schenn who plays better and makes less..
